What was Arty's connection with Kurumiru, what i mean is why did they touch heads?

It's a way of greeting Kurumiru. Pikachu, Kibago and Iris did it as well. Satoshi tried to do it but Kurumiru headbutted him :P. After he caught it, they were able to do the touching heads thing right.

-As of episode 18, Satoshi has seven Pokemon. Let's note that he has seven Pokemon. In episode freaking 18. This hasn't happened since Kanto's seven mons by episode 14. And it looks like this could be a rotation situation. Finally he's doing it. Unfortunately, we don't know which Pokemon was Oak'ed Araragi'd (outside of Zuruggu and Mijumaru) so that'll be the main speculation for a while.

-As for the episode itself. Fun times with Arty. While he was indeed fabulous, it was much more in the crazy, eccentric fabulous other than Dento's fabulous. Surprisingly, Dento did recognize Arty after he said he was the Huin Gym Leader (so...Leaders do know each other?). So much for the "Kurumiru is Arty's" theory when his Hahakomori came out.

-Yeah Kurumiru was really, really awesome in this. Between beating the crap out of Pikachu, rejecting Satoshi at first and being Spiderman, it looks like it's one of Satoshi's most expressive Bug Pokemon yet. Let's see where it goes.

-Didn't expect this to be somewhat of an Iris w/ Satoshi episode again. Oh and she wore the pajamas again :P. I was a little sad that Dento didn't get a ton of screentime, but then I remembered he gets his own episode next week. (It's gonna be great)

(I wonder how many people went "TEAM ROCKET?!" when the Koromori showed up. Way to troll writing staff )

-It isn't an auto transfer to Oak/Juniper, the 7th's Pokeball stops working and he has to go to a Pokemon Centre and send one of his mon to Juniper.

So wait. He can capture a ton of Pokemon, but they won't be able to use them in battle or something? Is that how it works? Also, is it confirmed that Ash will be sending his spare Pokemon to Prof Juniper? (Sorry to go off topic)

lol, that disco-music was so funny.
Love that Arty-guy, groovy and weird. It was quite enjoyable.
And that sewaddle is adorable and not weak on top of it.
I wonder whom Ash has oaked/junipered. I hope it isn't snivy,
though its probability is the highest =/

I only thing I can think of why Ash's seventh didn't get transfer is because he forgot about Pikachu's Pokeball at home.

Well I just about loved this episode to bits. Sewaddle is so cute! So carefree, yet it knows how to fight. It's voice is adorable too. I'm really glad Ash caught it now since I was a little unsure if I wanted it to join the team at when I firstheard of the possibility, but it's worth it now.

Artie was entertaining to watch, although his voice seemed a little strange. But I can't wait to see this guy battle, with his bizarre personality it'll be fun. Hahakomori was nice to see as well; hoping Sewaddle will evolve all the way now. Even reaching the middle stage will make me happy, I love Kurumayu (mainly for its facial expression).

Animation was good (Yaguruma Forest was a lovely change from the normal forest design). Music was great as usual, and I think we got a new original track or two in this one.

Oh, and Ash in a ball of silk was hilarious.

Also, is it confirmed that Ash will be sending his spare Pokemon to Prof Juniper?

It is, at the end of the episode Ash says he sent one of his Pokemon to Juniper to make room for Sewaddle (we aren't told which though). So I'm guessing Juniper will be used for Unova reserves for the time being.

I think it should still go to Oak, unless Ash said something in the episode about it going to Araragi.

Either way, I'm not changing that term it will always be oaked to me.

Sabonea_Masukippa, what i mean is, what was the ground that Ash stood on, for the battle pose, did he have a battle pose?

I may be wrong, but isn't Professor Oak still in Unova. If I remember correctly, he was coming to Unova to help Juniper with some research and both Ash and Delia came along for the ride.

So technically, Ash's reserves are still being Oaked, but they're being sent to Juniper's lab because he's (likely) still there. And if Delia is as well, then she's likely caring for Ash's reserve team herself.

Sounds like a cute episode, I really need to watch more of these. I'm glad it's not too plausible for Oshawott to be sent away, he's probably my favorite. Acting all rough and tough, he's so cute! Even my brother(who thinks Pokemon is stupid)laughed when I told him he pushed Pikachu off Ash's shoulder.

Am I the only one loving that Ash is getting all these Pokemon. Who do you think he transfered, im betting somebody like Pidove. I doubt he'd send any starter to Juniper, and wants to hang onto Zuruggu. Seriously this is the way the anime should be, people catching Pokemon. Go Ash!!

I don't particularly like these gags involving Ash, but I'm pretty sure the writers don't have me as the intended audience.

I think the forest scenery was a little different, visually, but once I got used to that, I didn't feel like there was much to distinguish this episode. The focus on enjoying nature is nice, but then in an episode of pokemon, I would like to see some "magical" interactions involving pokemon. The episode didn't really show me anything that I can't get by just walking outside my home and taking a walk around.

Thats interesting, I find it awesome how when you go outside and walk around you'll encounter 10 year old kids controlling monsters. Not to mention a vampire bug, electric rat, a small dragon with knives coming out of its mouth, a boy traveling around a forest in waiter's clothes, a flying pig bat able to create clones of itself and a big bug with razor sharp arms which it uses to sew.

I don't know how many animals you rub heads with and a magic light comes out of nowhere from, but I don't think it's common.
